The format is the book is easy to apply to online conference calls, corporate training sessions, and educational curriculum.

Last week was more than a little challenging, however there was one bright spot - I received Interact and Engage! I was thrilled and spent some time that evening reading, scanning, and perusing. Unfortunately, I have not been able to spend any time with it since; and it’s quite frustrating.It sits on my desk, mocking me, teasing me with information I can’t touch, knowledge I can’t yet absorb. I can’t read it before bed because it’s too interesting and I won’t be able to fall asleep. Then I realized I can arrange to spend an entire day reading it because my department offers quarterly learning days, a day we spend time learning whatever we want.I seldom read Forewords or Introductions because I often find them boring. Definitely not the case with this book. Kassy and Tom bring the title to life early on. Their advice to readers to think of the book as a cookbook made me smile. I usually flip through industry reads and stop for a bit here and there. When I flip through Interact and Engage!, I find myself frequently stopping and getting engrossed in an activity.I’m so happy they took the time to create a cookbook for virtual success - an excellent resource no matter what your level of experience. After my learning day, I know my copy will be filled with notes, highlighting, and post its for future reference; and my coworkers will be inundated with suggestion filled emails.
Interact and Engage! is a book written for the virtual instructors, producers, and facilitators of the world. The early portion of the book lays the foundation, exploring the world of virtual platforms and their use. It’s also examines the importance and value of engagement. With this foundation in place, the bulk of the book explores over 50 different activities that can be used to put the promise of engagement in virtual training into practice. The book concludes with tips to leverage what you learned from the shared examples to create new activities of your own.If you’ve seen Kassy and Tom present at a conference or online, you know their expertise. That expertise sets a high bar for what you might expect from their first book.Thankfully, it doesn’t disappoint.(To read my full review of the book, visit: http://davidkelly.me/2016/01/book-review-interact-and-engage-by-kassy-laborie-and-tom-stone/)
